Fishers’ Mitch Sliga STATE Wrestling Champion!
Published February 19, 2012 | Hamilton County Sports Daily
Mitch Sliga’s hard word, dedication and persistence finally brought him the prize he’s sought for three years.
THIRD TIME A CHARM: Junior Mitch Sliga put an exclamation point on his 49-0 season on Saturday night at Banker's Life Fieldhouse/HC sports Daily photo: Shawn Barney.
In his third trip to the state wrestling finals, the junior wrestling sensation from Fishers High School is now an IHSAA state champion!
And he’s also a first-time state champion in two different sports for Fishers.
The Greco-Roman wrestling national champion as a freshman was a member of the 2010 Fishers Tigers Class 5A state football championship team. And now he’s an individual state champion in Indiana high school wrestling in the 195-pound weight class.
And he got it done in an impressive manner on Saturday night at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse.
Sliga pinned two earlier opponents in a matter of 70 seconds. The final match took a little more time. He led 2-1 after the first period, and then broke a 2-2 tie against Merrillville’s Kourtney Berry (32-1), ranked No. 2 in the state, in a pin fall with 39.7 seconds remaining in the second period. The pin came in 3:20.
“Winning in that fashion, the way I got the pin, is just amazing,’’ Sliga said during an IHSAA webcast interview.
Sliga, who gave up football after his sophomore season to concentrate on wrestling, was third in the state at 189 pounds in each of the past two seasons.
